The concrete wall preventing falls to the ground bellow is too low in some places

Reported via desktop in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 13:49, Wed 17 March 2021

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2615019.

The concrete retaining wall on the motorway verge rises above the road level in Maidstone Road to prevent falls to the ground below. The wall is approx 1.4mts high at its highest (about my chest level which seems fine), but only 0.85mtrs at its lowest points (Lower than my hip level) this appears to have been caused by vegetation growing up from the landscaped area and also garden rubbish being dumped against the wall. This low section has a huge drop to the motorway ground below.
